W&A-01 - The W & Anchor Works Shoes No. 1

[Giles]

It was pretty tricky.  I had to read the first post….

[madmonday]

true, true, but it says late March on the first post . . . let me go back & make sure . . .

so youre getting all sizes in on these? or not so much?

[Giles]

7-12, but only "ones" of some sizes,  and a lot of people have already completed the  form.  But many people complete the form and then don't buy, so where we will end up is a complete mystery.  I have agreed with Kurt that I can order more as soon as I know where we are and what real demand is….

[natehate]

okay
that leaves me with some thinking to do

From the Faith blog:

The W & Anchor Bros. Work shoe Type 1 will soon be Arrival

[Giles]

Going to be mid May I am afraid.  Sorry for the delays…..

[madmonday]

these are going to be great for year round use.

just trying to see if I'm going to do a 8.5 like i do in redwings as i think an 8 would be too small & 9 too large . . .

[trail and arrow]

really looking forward to this!

[Giles]

Me too…..Kurt was super apologetic about the delay~~, I said it did matter in the least as long as he finished my fixie on time,~~ when I was with him in Tokyo…....

[Friday]

was thinking about this as well… Its either this or the Viberg..

[Giles]

We are definitely getting closer…..

[madmonday]

do they use a bonwelt on these?  the shoe reminds me of the RedWing Forman shoe, but this steerhide is just a sexy looking piece of leather & better than anything i've seen redwing use for their shoe.

i can not wait to get my pair, now to figure if 8.5 will work for me. . . .

No, that's a Goodyear welt

[madmonday]

From the images of WandA  pre-assembled I'm not so sure. I'm luck enough where it has never been an issue for any of my shoes/boots (aty least that i know of).

Watching this space . . .

Full Goodyear welt…...

[madmonday]

thanks for the info

[Giles]

At last, these are close…...

[tmg]

I'm on the fence about these, but they look great

The dead giveaway would be if you saw that white stitching on the storm welt when it wasn't attached in this photo of all the shoe components blown up:
